Other than brakes is there anything I can pull to for a OEM upgrade? What I took so far are the Door blades, mirror caps, calipers, caliper carriers, rotors and dust shields at all four corners. The Seats have been removed before I got there. Next, I will be pulling the rear door cards and window frames for the sun shades.

So, big question is there anything else I could pull off the B6 S4 that would go on my B7 A4 2.0T Q?

Thank you in advance.

Time to see what she can do at the track

Recently had the timing belt done, so decided to kill many birds with one stone. All was running perfect before. Changed out the thermostat for a Behr thermostat, coolant flange kit with the grey two pin cts. Soon after when driving through the rockies I noticed going down hill the temperature gage would drop to 75 and then when on the flats again back up to 90. Since then P2181 code decided to come say hello and car never goes up to 90 bar sitting in stop start traffic. Once moving freeflow the gage goes back down to 75 and yoyos about depending on traffic. On startup the coolant reservoir is still and not until the car hits 90 on the gage does the coolant start stirring arround with the thermostat open I'd imagine.

An option buying the thermostat was a green cts with 4 pin....searching like crazy it's hard to find an answer but seems the green cts is an old one for the 1.8T and can be used in the 2.0t but just has to be the right two pins used. Be great to get a definitive on that.

Thanks in advance folks!
Collie.

Gets worse with A/C., and the vibration is worse sometimes than others. I have changed motor mounts, and even though they were somewhat leaking, it did not change the idle one bit.
One thing I am thinking is that since the past owner said he replaced PCV, he may have put the early revision on instead of the later. Maybe this is causing my idle vibration and explains why it might not throw a code? I know vibration is inherent in these cars but not like it has been since I have bought it. I want to say the car doesn't feel as responsive, but I wouldn't know because I got the car like this.

What would be the symptoms if you installed the wrong revision of the PCV? Also which revision is correct for '08? Thanks.

Could a coil pack be bacd or spark plug issue without a CEL?

I replaced the Cam Follower and the car has been great since. However, today as I was headed home from a short trip to the store, I once again had no power, CEL solid and EPC flashing. This time I am getting three codes:

I'm in the process of digging out my old VAG-COM cable and will try to get it running, though this was a cheap $30 cable back in 2008-ish.

Any obvious things I should check? Any other ideas?

Theres a blue band around the edge of part of the gasket I'm guessing to help seal it. There is some gray RTV on there right now as well thats being a real pain to get off. Should I put some RTV on there again or is just the gasket good enough? Guess the RTV can't hurt right? As long as too much isn't put on

I mean it starts, then dies after 3 seconds. I got work tonight too so any suggestions would be great. I tried disconnecting the MAF sensor but that didnt help. I checked the PCV and it seems to be working fine. I did a quick google but couldnt find anything that may be related to misfires. any ideas?

The 2 pin electrical connector that attaches to the Coolant Temperature sensor broke on me. The plastic body that contains the locking function split in half, so I was wondering if I could remove the 2 pins from the molded body and insert them into a new housing, do you have to replace the whole cable, or what other options are there??

This is the first time that I had this happen in all of my wrenching years[wrench]

I continued driving and tried giving it some gas again so see if it was a fluke when all of a sudden more and more misfires. my check engine light did not come on though. I pulled codes and nothing came up. So i decided to drive the car hard around the block, trying to induce a check engine light. After the engine seemed so misfire like an old man with a coughing fit (still no CEL) i pulled codes and i got misfires on 1,3 and 4. Is it common for multiple coils/plugs to fail together? I'm still worried why I didnt get a CEL.

Are the people who have a K04, are you finding yourselves changing out the coils/plugs more often?

Update: took it to a mechanic and he says the cat is shot. I had a 034 hfc, now I gotta call to see if it's covered under warranty. If not then I may just gut it and use it as a test pipe.

From what my mechanic said, the cat shit the bed, exhaust couldn't flow as well, started backing up, causing misfires. He ran the car in the shop for a few minutes and the cat was bright orange. So now I gotta replace all the plugs, probably need a new o2 sensor and see what the deal is with replacing this cat.

In the past month, I've started personalizing, and I am ready to post a pic.

I had the tint redone (purple/peeling) with llumar CTX 35%, just had vogtland coils and 034 stainless lines installed, and re-shoed with some brand new DWS 06s and 18" Alzor 030 wheels, and a bfi heavy shift knob. Threw on the ECS duck tail spoiler to round it out.

Future plans include RS4 grille, OEM xenons, and ER SMICs...all of which I have purchased, but I need to schedule a shop day on base, pull the front end, and knock it all out at once. I also bought an Xtrons Anroid 6.0 unit to replace the stock symphony II.

Love the car so far and looking forward to future personalization.
